force a selection from a list of words
I have a list of prefered words for specific type work sheets, is there a way
to force a user to select from that list and only that list? In my workbooks, each sheet will have a column (F) that will use up to 29 rows maximum. When ever a user selects a cell in that column I want to force them to select from a list of specific words to fill the cell. -- Regards VBA.Noob.Confused XP Pro Office 2007 |

DV dropdown list fonts cannot be changed.
There are workarounds. See Debra's site http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlDataVal08.html#Font Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 24 Jan 2008 13:49:58 -0800, Rick S. wrote: It would be nice if we could edit our replies/posts. Can the font size be changed? (not chaned) |
